2 birds feeding in grassy wetland surrounded by scrubby arid habitat, only this one was calling . When I moved the bird would become agitated and then settle back into a more routine call after a few moments. A high pass filter was used to remove wind noise

Natural sound. Several agitated stilts vocalizing in the area upon our approach along the pond levee. The pond was ~5 acres with <6 inches of water and with a grassy island in the middle as tall as the levee. The focal individual was performing a broken wing display while vocalizing from the shallow water near the middle of the pond.

Habitat

Converted catfish farm. Most ponds with some early succession vegetation. Some with shallow water good for shorebirds.
